Situated in a highly popular student rental area of Brighton, this well-established five-bedroom HMO property on St Martins Place represents an excellent opportunity for investors seeking a strong and reliable buy-to-let investment. The property has successfully operated as a student HMO for many years and continues to perform well within Brighton’s robust student rental market. It is currently fully let for the 2026/2027 academic year at £3,467 per calendar month, creating an attractive gross yield of approximately 8.7%, making it a compelling addition to any property portfolio.
Arranged over three floors, the property offers five well-proportioned double bedrooms, providing comfortable and practical accommodation ideally suited to student living. The ground floor comprises a modern open-plan kitchen and reception space, which serves as the social hub of the house, alongside one of the double bedrooms and access to a conservatory at the rear, offering additional communal space. The upper floors provide four further double bedrooms, ensuring the property is perfectly configured for shared living.
The house benefits from two bathrooms, which helps accommodate multiple occupants comfortably and efficiently. The modern kitchen has been well maintained and provides ample storage and workspace, making it suitable for a busy shared household. The property has been carefully managed over the years and continues to provide a reliable rental income stream, demonstrating its ongoing appeal to the student market.
Its location is another key factor in the property’s success. Positioned within easy reach of both University of Brighton and University of Sussex, the property remains consistently popular with student tenants. Excellent public transport links and access to local amenities further enhance the property’s attractiveness, ensuring strong tenant demand year after year.
A new boiler was installed in 2024, and an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) along with all necessary remedial works was completed in May 2024, with no further inspection required until May 2029. The rear external elevation was also renovated and redecorated in summer 2025, enhancing the overall presentation. The property is fully compliant with high HMO standards and benefits from vanity units and basins in all upper floor rooms, making it particularly attractive for continued rental use.
